Nearly half the world hates Jews – that is the stark message that emerges from the most comprehensive survey of global public opinion on the subject ever undertaken. Published on January 14, the results revealed that 46% of all adults in the world hold entrenched antisemitic views.
The poll, known as the Global 100 Survey, was conducted between July and November 2024 by the long-established Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in conjunction with Ipsos, the multinational market research firm, and others. More than 58,000 adults from 103 countries and territories were surveyed, representing 94% of the global adult population.
Launched in 2014, the Global 100 Survey has conducted only three such polls. The latest not only revealed the startling level of antisemitism across the globe. It also showed that the proportion of adults worldwide harboring antisemitic beliefs has rocketed from 26% in 2014 to 46% by 2024.
“Antisemitism is nothing short of a global emergency,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL’s chief executive. “It’s clear that we need new government interventions, more education, additional safeguards on social media, and new security protocols to prevent antisemitic hate crimes…and now is the time to act.”
